If you thought their defense of Jar Jar Binks was a challenge, wait until you hear Dave, Dan, and Mac argue for the utilitarian value of the Ewoks. Standing alone in his disdain for both Return of the Jedi and the Endorian Ursus is Chief Justice Michael Stailey. The geek barometer doesn't get much higher than this, folks.

Patrick and Doug come-of-age, as they get homesick for a place that no longer exists, in a cinematic world called Garden State. It's life. It's real, and sometimes it f-in hurts, but -- thanks to writer/director Zach Braff -- it's all we have.

Dave, Mac, and Erich welcome Michael in to debrief the Oscar Best Picture nominees, cheer the premiere of FX's Lights Out and the return of NBC's Parks & Recreation. Plus, evil twins, ineffectual costume designs, the glory of Stardust, and movies that should never be remade.

Steve and Jon bring you your weekly dose of random gibberish and shout outs to people you don't know while they run down the latest vidja game news, talk about what they've played this week, and answer your pertinent questions. Jon is digging Dead Space 2, while Steve is stuck in 2008 with the original Dead Space, when he's not stabbing things with flaming swords in Two Worlds II. We also answer such driving questions as, if no one can hear you in regular space, would "dead" space negate the whole not hearing you thing? And we adress the important issue of best and worst video game merch! Have you played Dead Space 2? Hows about Two Worlds II? Looking forward to LA Noire?

Kent and Michelle, the Magnificent Bickersons of the 21st Century, return to wow you with their knowledge of ornithology, extracting food from one's nasal cavity, a couch-scopic view of the 2010 year in film, and a review of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. Oh yeah, and they're celebrating some guy's birthday a few days early. I hope you brought a gift.

This week, Clark offers up the third installment in his countdown of The Best Film Scores of 2010. As we move from #10 to #6, you'll hear musical selections from composers Clint Mansell, Carter Burwell, John Adams, Daft Punk, and Alexandre Desplat. Plus, Ron Howard's new comedy The Dilemma is reviewed. Enjoy!

Join Dave and Dan for an intergalactic cockfight, as they pit Robert Rodriguez' Predators against Predator 2 -- a film he claims is not worthy of the franchise.

The force is strong with Patrick and Mike, as they cornhole George Lucas' opening salvo in the Star Wars prequel train wreck, better known as The Phantom Menace. Bring plenty of lube because this is one hell of a tantric podcast.

Erich has a serial killer fetish, Mac is crushing on Tron: Legacy, Dave dines at Bob's Burgers; reviews of "the other horse movie," the new Ben 10 series, and the pitiful fourth season of Air Wolf. Plus Batman vs. MacGyver, action on ice, and scary pigs.

Steve and Jon are back (alongside a late to the party Adam) after a little too much Christmas cheer, to ring in 2011 with talk of the very best stuff they played in 2010. Just to even out the balance, they also talk about their single biggest dissapointments of the year. Want to hear nine awesome games we loved? Or the three we didn't? Tune in! There's also a little chatting about the launch of Nintendo's upcoming 3D handheld, and a little rapping about the issues currently facing Call of Duty multiplayer on Sony's big black box. What were your choices for Best of 2010? Do you think Activision is screwing PS3 owners?
